Propafenone How to Take

Propafenone belongs to the class of medications known as antiarrhythmics. It is used to treat certain abnormal heart rhythms. It works by slowing down the rate of nerve impulses causing the heart to beat, and by making the heart less likely to respond to abnormal impulses.

Propafenone may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Propafenone may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Propafenone may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Propafenone for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Propafenone, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Propafenone without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Propafenone to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Propafenone if their doctor has not prescribed it.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Propafenone. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take.
